Washington Commanders fans spent the last several days poring over NFL Scouting Combine reports, looking for a couple of magic elixirs to cure an aging, ailing defense.
But if the Commanders are going to turn the defensive performance around, it will take a lot more than one high-profile pick. Washington needs reinforcements at multiple levels. With some cash on hand, Peters will no doubt look to add players through free agency.
He also currently has four Day 3 picks. Peters needs to maximize each of them. The Commanders must focus on finding quality depth, immediate special teams help, and perhaps an unpolished gem who can grow into a long-term starter.
